Just read more, really. I'm not going to tell you to do something stupid or unrealistic like sell your shit and be homeless in Thailand or something.
It honestly just comes down to reading more, and reading a wider range of poets. The more the better, gives you ideas, lets you see how those ideas are executed and accomplished. Really study them, you'll get inspired eventually.
